Stray Feathers. 



Bird Sanctuary. — We have great pleasure in stating that, 

 through the instrumentality of Captain S. A. White, the President 

 of the R.A.O.U., helped by other bird-lovers in South Austraha, 

 the Government of that State has proclaimed Carlot Lagoon a 

 sanctuary for birds — an ideal place for that purpose, very many 

 water-fowl nesting there. 



An Albino Eagle. — During June I secured a splendid live speci- 

 men of a white Wedge-tailed Eagle (Uroaetus audax. Lath.), and 

 presented it to the Sydney Zoological Gardens, where it arrived 

 safely, and is now on view. The bird appears to be full grown ; 

 it was captured (being too gorged to fly, probably) at Ridgelands, 

 near Scone, New South Wales, and, I believe, is unique. With 

 the exception of a brown-shaded feather in the wing, the bird is 

 pure white, even to its beak, legs, and feet ; eyes colourless, with 

 dark-coloured pupils. — H. L. White. Belltrees, Scone, N.S.W. ,
